C&C - Dan Da Dan Season 1 Talkback [7/26-10/11]

[Kitschensyngk]

Delicious AND nutritious!

"Call me Mommy! Do it!"
Getting SERIOUS Paranoia Agent flashbacks here.

A devil with a red dress on.

She's new to this whole yokai thing.

Cats remain useless.

I DEMAND TO SPEAK TO YOUR SUPERVISOR!

And now we're short on protagonists.

"Where has my child gone off you?"
Look stomach-ward, idiot.

Mamma mia, that's a spicy hairball!

Must have eaten something that disagreed with her.

Yeah, more on that mommy thing next week. Word of warning—bring a box of tissues.

 

[shany94a]

Aria may be more trouble than she's worth, although she didn't freak out when she was told she got her power from Okarun's nut(s). And Momo IS super cute, glad Okarun stuck up for her. Now to defeat this new monster, with no help from Turbo Granny.

To be fair, kind of hard to believe some strangers telling you the golden magic ball that awakened your powers is someone's testicle stolen by a granny ghost trapped in a lucky cat doll, lol.

 

[CNFan1995]

Previously on Dan Da Dan: Aira has the missing golden ball; she can now see invisible things, possibly due to the effects of the ball.

Episode 7: To a Kinder World
Saturday 9/6 at 12:30 AM
Opening: Otonoke by Creepy Nuts
Ending: Taidada by Zutomayo

Synopsis: Momo and Okarun barely save Aira from Acrobatic Silky but fail to keep her safe from a yokai monster, whose attack leaves her at the mercy of Acrobatic Silky.​

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Last time: She's on a mission from God. And it's nothing to do with a Chicago orphanage.

Oh yeah, it's this one. Get your tissues out.

At least Momo's clothes are mostly intact this time.

"Give her to me, you shrimp-willied boy!"
Everyone's so obsessed with Okarun's reproductive organs.

Brave sir Okarun ran away, bravely ran away, away...

I'm a lover, not a fighter.

You never know until you try.

You have acquired TESTICLE!

I think we broke her.

If she wakes right here, I hope she doesn't construe this as a kiss.

So you do have maternal instincts.

Well, now I can't eat anything.

And now this.

Thank you Toonami for holding the ad break until the end.

A childless mother and a motherless child.

Right now your child's playing with Nina and her dog from Fullmetal Alchemist, Connie from Promised Neverland, that Pepe kid from Michiko & Hatchin...

Morning, sunshine.

Cats are cruel.

Momma, I'm coming home.

And next week, she still won't go away.

 

[Yojimbo]

Damn, fighting for their lives one minute against a bad ghost - the next, the same ghost makes a sacrifice and is revealed to have a tragic as hell past.

Interesting rules they're laying down. Ordinary humans die from yokai. The transfer of energy can be in either direction. If this show is going to have a big bad, that's some deadly information either way. A ghost that accumulates energy from killing lot's of humans or a bad human who accumulates a lot of energy stolen from ghosts could be a doozy. But included the classic element that children are able to see more of the supernatural world than adults can but as they grow up, they lose that ability cuz life crushes you.

Ok, they got one ball back - so what do they do with it? And of course, off to find the other one.

I guess they're gonna have to explain everything to Aira and a hilarious sorta-love triangle will continue. Or maybe Aira will keep trying to exorcise Momo.

Also here's some bts from Shuto Enomoto regarding animating Acrobatic Silky in the episode 7 flashback and battle.

 

[shany94a]

That was ... not at all what I expected. When is a monster not a monster? When it's one with a broken heart. A parent should never lose a child, and a young child should never lose a parent.

Episode 8: I've Got This Funny Feeling
Saturday 9/13 at 12:30 AM
Opening: Otonoke by Creepy Nuts
Ending: Taidada by Zutomayo

Synopsis: The battle against Acrobatic Silky is over; a normal school life briefly returns to the three before Serpoians show up before them.​

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Last time...was actually a bit too sad for a funny recap.

The big dinners are a recurring theme on this show.
As are the awkward silences.

First you're calling Okarun a loser otaku who would likely die a virgin, and now you're eating with him.

Don't argue with your mouths full.

You borh speak noodle mouth.

Seems losing his wedding tackle has made him popular with girls somehow.

"I'm gonna put some extra stank on my Turbo Granny ball!"
Uhh...phrasing?

Ball one.

I've got a feeling, a feeling deep inside, a feeling I can't hide.

Pretty sure it's nothing to do with that demon-obsessed pink haired lady.

Ahhh...of course we were going to get one of these situations.

I'll bet you're wondering how he got in this situation. It all started when...

Still on the demon thing, huh?

Maybe don't get romantic advice from pornography.

And that's where she came in.

Uhh...thanks for the milk?

"Where's my Pompy?"
I THREW IT ON THE GROUND! I AIN'T A PART OF YOUR SYSTEM, MAN!

I'm pretty sure, as with paranormal things, there's a rational explanation.

Uhh...is there a leak in the floor?

Of course YOU'RE here.

Uhh, sir, do you have a hall pass?

I hope it doesn't know how to open doors.

Nessie's had too much hot sauce.

Does that mantis have a sombrero?

Oh no, not these guys. Aira, keep your clothes on!

"Why is every paranormal thing trying to take my junk away?"
Could be worse. You could be on Food Wars.

Of course your clothes get ripped off anyway.

Now we've got two of you.

 

[Yojimbo]

Yep, Aira believes herself. And points out Grandma is to young and hot to be Momo's grandma, rofl. Ha ha. She even swipes the dialogue away. This show.

lmao, Momo saw them at the worst possible moment. And of course won't listen to Okarun try to explain what was going on. If only he said he was going to go train in his spare time than lie to her. Teenagers. Her friends continue to be hilarious.

lol, don't use your dad's stuff for research. But super hilarious this confirms she doesn't know anything about love or kissing or anything despite her popularity.

Yeah, even Okarun says it's ridic that everyone wants his junk.

A Nessiezilla and a crab/shrimp boxer with the returning Serpos. Okay....

Oooo, Aira got Silky's powers when the transfer happened!!! That's gonna feed into her ego more and complicate things. The love triangle continues...

 

[shany94a]

Aira and Momo should just square off in mud and get it over with ... Okarun just got a ball back, and now they want his schlong (again)? Poor kid can't catch a break, and now it looks like Aira can transform, too.

Episode 9: Merge! Serpo Dover Demon Nessie!
Saturday 9/20 at 12:30 AM
Opening: Otonoke by Creepy Nuts
Ending: Taidada by Zutomayo

Synopsis: Wielding Acrobatic Silky's power, Aira fights the Serpoians alongside Okarun and Momo; the frustrated Serpoians power up their crustacean-like minion.​

 

[Kitschensyngk]

A thought occurs to me...
High school kids...who gain psychic powers...fighting paranormal monsters...
...
This is what Bleach should have been! ...I mean, without all the genital references.

Last time: As if Okarun wasn't in enough hot water. Or water in general.

Why is it every time you guys show up, someone ends up naked?

"That is the privilege of a refined lady."
A refined lady who gets relationship advice from her dad's porn collection.

He didn't call out his attack before he attacked! Damn his awareness of anime cliches!

Aliens wanting high school kids' banana organs... #NotADragQueen.

Oh, peachy. Momo's here now.

Loosely translated, these lyrics in English mean "good luck getting this song out of your head."

Just say "Ken Takakura" over and over again. Easy victory.

Okay, posting this here for reference:


I'm impressed they didn't try and translate that.

THE FLOOR IS WATER! THE FLOOR IS WATER!

Now he'll never get his red stapler back.

He hits harder underwater, but he...can't swim.

It's not bothering her that you think they kissed?

KISS HER YOU BLOCKHEAD! ...no really, do it, she probably needs to breathe.

Just like that one level in Super Mario Galaxy.

No no, the thing was NOT to get naked in front of them.

So hard to find good help this days.

I didn't know you had a leader. I always thought you were an autonomous collective.

"Would you mind if we beat you to death instead?"
Very much so.

How long can you tread water?

Uhh...do you know where you are right now?

No, really, do you know where you are right now?

Ahh...you don't.

Every kid's worst nightmare cliche.

 

[Yojimbo]

Aliens, monsters, and ghosts can merge into one being. Yeah. Shrug. But turned out to be their undoing.

So apparently the shrimp guy is based on the Dover Demon. I'm digging this series' urban legend picks!

Momo is turning out to be a pretty good strategist on the fly using the mantis shrimp's weakness to cripple the combined being then opening up the Nessie's weakness to Aira's prehensile hair to strangle its neck and Okarun to finish it off.

ROFL. That was pretty hilarious the student body sees a buck naked Okarun on top of Momo in her underwear both happy over the win. The rumor mill is gonna pounce on that stuff. Or even think it was a 3-way.

 

[shany94a]

Highlight of the episode: seeing Momo and Aira in their skivvies, which is still more than Okarun was wearing. And the ending was like a dream almost everybody has of being naked at school, except it wasn't a dream. The school paper will have a field day with that sight.

Episode 10: Have You Seen a Cattle Mutilation?
Saturday 9/27 at 12:30 AM
Opening: Otonoke by Creepy Nuts
Ending: Taidada by Zutomayo

Synopsis: Momo, Okarun and Aira make it through the alien assault by combining their powers; the alien that was supposedly defeated, appears before them.​

 

[animePWNS]

Uh, hello, nurse? (And I use that word loosely.)

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Last time: Could be worse. You could have been up on stage in front of the whole school.

If I find out you're being bullied, I'll tan your hides!

I don't suppose this nurse gives sex education classes as well?

Why were the lights off?

Welcome to the Bleach club.

Pay attention, Aira.

Every country has a monster...

Momo is not concerned with reputation.

Never keep secrets from girls, Okarun. They always find out.

He'd have to get stronger with these aliens about.

[awkward pause, hands on heads]

This is starting to feel like a true crime podcast.

Nude gladiator combat. Only slightly more believable than the truth.

You weren't the only one involved.

How did they know she dropped the washtub on her?

So much for vanity, I guess.

"I don't want my classmates thinking were friends!"
She'd be happy with school proximity associates.

Round two...or not.

Kappas are more like turtles. This one is more like a mantis.

A recurring theme on this show is how every arc ends in a big meal.
Or maybe a fight.

He needed the job to provide for his kid. I got that much.

Keep your lower horn, Fry.

"How could you be so rude to him? What are you, anti-alien?"
Well she's certainly not Uncle Alien. ...I am ashamed of myself

That better not be raw.

Milk - it does an alien mantis body good.

Well, that ended happily.

Do kappa have eyestalks?

Maybe wait until the next episode when the artist draws you in them again.

I'm gonna have to look up this "rocket engine valve" thing, aren't I?

A NEW CHALLENGER HAS ENTERED

Well, Momo's had her jealousy run - I guess it's his turn now.

Are they running season two after this? I know it's just ended.

 

[Yojimbo]

Eh... so... uh... what up with that nurse?

Interesting theory about there being a war between aliens and ghosts.

Oh, so Dover was an alien. That was a hilarious turn that their blood is cow milk on Earth. Funny nod to bovine kidnapping lore. It is a very cool development that Dover is now an ally. So they're not all bad.

It was funny they focused more on the reps of the girls but nothing on Okarun's class reacting to him being in the middle of war for the affection for two hotties. Well... at least Aira admitted to starting that lie about Momo being a whore.

Jiji time.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

I'm gonna have to look up this "rocket engine valve" thing, aren't I?

Okay, I looked it up.
